Cause you should have two ram slots
@@rickstechrepairs yes i do have 2 slots for the ram. If ever i dont want to remove the 4gb, can i put a 8gb ram instead? Or does it need to be 4gb-4gb or 8gb-8gb?
You can go 4 and a 8gb
But it's recommended to use matched sizes to get dual channel performance
Can you replace the battery with a 90wh battery?
I have the MD Ryzen 5 R5-3550H Processor, 256gb SSd one. What is the maximum capacity I can upgrade the ram to?
i would be guessing 32GB
Hey! I want to upgrade my RAM to 16gb (8x2). Now i have my standard 8gb inside, but don’t have any knowledge of this so here is it: Must i buy 2 new 8gb ram cards (like a kit) or can i buy one to put next to the standard one? Could you send me the links of good ram sticks? Especially for the one that goes along with my old one... It’s only running up to 2400hz it says on asus’ website so idk how that works.
You can just buy one additional 8gb ram stick and put it in next to the preexisting ram stick.
hi can you lemme know if i can upgrade the wifi 4 card on it?
i dont see why changing to a Wifi6 card be an issue
Bro please help me find the WiFi card slot , u just can't find it and i really need to change it as mine is dead
its below ssd
What the highest ram I can put in it ? I know you can get 8gb ram but would it be ok to put 16gb ram in
16gb would be fine
Ricks Tech cheers man
Rikki Constable highest ram 32gb ... 16gb and another 16gb
Is the cpu upgradable?
only ram and hdd/ssd is
What is the size of the screwdrivers? I needed to open mine because it has a vibration in the fan
Most standard size screw drivers would work fine
Do I have to disconnect the battery before adding RAM?
Hey i dont know if you still wanted to do that, but a tip you should know before start opening the case? Welp the laptop, its left pushing ( hold the bottom) power a few seconds until you hear a sound, that is a command used for drain or release the energy of interns components that's all you need to do of course remove the charger
sure
Thanks to both of you!
do you void warranty when doing this?
yes
hi. ı have same laptop. ı bought 2666mhz 19 cl 8gb laptop ram. is this ram okay with stock ram for dual channel? stock ram model is same in this video. but i check gpu-z, application shows ram work with 17 cl. how its possible?
the ram will match settings to the slower of the two, so you will still be safe putting most ram in with the factory stick
@@rickstechrepairs okay thx.
would it be possible to swap out the cpu in this?
Nope
Can only change
Ram
SSD
WiFi
Battery
Hey bro I want to upgrade to 16 gb ram, i have the same laptop as yours but I can’t find identical ram brand on amazon, can i put one stick of ram from another brand?
Another brand should be fine , aslong as it's the same size and speed as your existing ram
Ricks Tech thank you
Hi, I have the same laptop mine is 16 gb ram I was wondering it it is possible to upgrade the ram to 32gb dual channel? so 16 on both slots ?
There is a possibility that both slots are with 8 gb ram each so u may need to buy 2*16gb ..if u don't know how to check slot available go to Task manager > performance, right bottom you can find ram details
Abdul Nafay Hasan yes
Does this model support M.2 with heatsink?
Good question, I'm not sure as I'm yet to use a nvme with a heatsink
@@rickstechrepairs humm, i understand, thanks
Is the proccesor upgradeble ?
Nope
@@rickstechrepairs hmmm okay because now i have the amd ryzen 7 8gb ram and the Nvidia 1660ti
Is it a good idea to upgrade to 16gb or even 32gb of ram ? Or isnt that gonna do anything?
upto what degree is the laptop heated during gaming
Up to 90c
I wonder how often i gotta clean those fans get the dust out..... I had an acer one which was full of dust within just an year
All depends on location of use
Can I loss the warranty by open it?
In some countries yes but I know legally in Australia, no
Bro Help me out! My Asus tuf fx505dt came with 3200mhz ram! Will a 2666mhz ram work as dual channel? My goal is run both at 2400mhz speed (maximum on ryzen 5 3550h)
2666 mhz ram will work since the cpu will automatically downgrade the speed if over the max supported speed. (I believe the max supported speed is 2400 mhz or 2666 mhz.)
Why have they wasted 2666mhz memory module when the processor itself supports only 24000mhz? However this is a nice video..
I'm guessing they were actually cheaper for Asus to buy at the time
can you remove the GPU on this?
Nope
can I change my processor to intel....and try to increase my SSD???
CPU can't be changed
Watch this for a more detailed part swap

Just read online, apparently the motherboard doesn't have firmware support for some Samsung drives. Was going to get an EVO SSD but supposedly has many issues with the FX series
thats odd maybe its refering to the EVO NVMe SSD's, cant say iv come across issues when its been a 2.5" Evo SSD
@@rickstechrepairs The review was from November 2018 so perhaps since then the issue has been fixed? Or perhaps it was never there but I'll be going western digital just in case
What is that 2nd m.2 looking slot on the right?
If you are referring under the fan and above the 2.5" drive bay
That is actual the connector for the display
Hey is it possible to have my warranty void when i disassemble my laptop?
Some country's will void it cause of that but lost shouldn't , Australia doesn't
How to know what kind of hdd to buy and put there, does it have to be specific type?
Sata is all you need to know.
can we replace the wifi card?
Yes you can
@@rickstechrepairs i can't spot where the wifi card is?
Can you upgrade the gpu on this laptop?
Nope
How do you plug in the SSD?
Gun Gai take casing out but you need plastic prey thingy to take the casing off... then hope the laptop detect the ssd drive I had to remove the casing off few times and mess with the ssd and plus in before the laptop detect it not sure why
So the CMOS battery is non removable?
It is removable , its located slightly below the left fan
My ASUS only has 256G of storage how do I add more is it ssd or ram and if you could link me some stuff I could purchase so I can get more thanks
you would be adding a 2.5" Sata HDD or SSD
@@rickstechrepairs will this affect the speed?
It shouldn't
